INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of School Dlractors
Camp Hill School Distrlct
Camp Hill, Pennsylvanla
WB have audlted thB accompanying general.purpose flnancial statements of
Camp Hill School Distrlct as of June 30, 1996 and for the year then ended, as
listed in the precedlng index. These general.purpose financlal scatements are
the responsibility of the Distrlct's management. Our responslbllity is to
express an opinion on these general.purpose flnancial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance wlth generally accepted auditing
standards anrl Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller Ceneral
of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general.purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examinlng, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general.
purpose financial statements. An audlt also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall general.purpose financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audlt provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying general'purpose financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Camp Hill
School District as of June 30, 1996, the results of its operations and the cash
flows of its Proprietary Fund Types and Nonexpendable Trust Funds for the year
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 16, the District changed its method of accounting for
general fixed assets and its method of accountlng for taxpayer. assessed revenues.
In accordance wlth Covernment Audltlng Standards, we have also issued
reports dated August 16, 1996 on our consideratlon of Camp Hill School Discrict's
internal control structure and on its compliance wlth laws and regulatlons.

1. Reporting entity
Camp lUll School District is the level of government which has oversight
responsibility and control over activities related to public school education.
The report includes services provided by the District to residents within the
boundaries of the Borough of Camp Hill. Services provided include a comprehensive
curriculum for primary and secondary education as well os special education and
vocational education programs. The District receives revenue from local, state
and federal source" and must comply wich the requirements of these funding
sources.
Criteria estsblished in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number
14 were used in determining the entities to be included in the reporting entity.
These criteria include basic items such as financial interdependency, selection
of governing authority, designation of management, ability to significantly
influence operations, accountability for fiscal matters, scope of public service
and special financing relationships.
"
Based on the foregoing criteria, the reporting entity has been defined to include
all the fund types and account groups for which the School District is financially
accountable or for which there is a significant relationship. The audit reports
of the component unit and joint venture are aveilable for public inspection in
the School District's administrative office.
Blended Comoonent Units
Some component units, despite being lege1ly separate from the primary government,
are so intertwined with the primary government that they are reported as part of
the primary government. The component units reported in this way are as follows:
Camp Hill Borough Authority
The Camp Hill Borough Authority (Authority) was created to administer bond
issues which provide funds for the construction of the Camp Hill Junior.Senior
High School and for subsequent improvements thereto. The Authority leases
the Camp Hill Junior.Senior High School to the School District for operation
and use for public school purposes. The School District appoints 100\ of the
Authority's board members and has guaranteed the debt of the Authority. Based
upon these factors, the Authority is included in the School District' s
reporting entity as part of Its Debt Service Fund.
The Authority operates on a fiscal year ended December 31. The Authority's
balance sheet is as of December 31, 1995 and the statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balance is for the year ended December 31,
1995. Separate component unit financial statements are available at the
Dis trict office.
The Authority, which is a part of the Debt Service Fund, includes a $ 30,000
transfer to the General Fund.

financial statements available.
The District is also a participant in three other jointly. governed operations,
each of which is a separate legal entity that offers educational services to the
District and its residents. Each of these entities serves many school districts
and are therefore not included as part of Camp Hill School DLstrict's reporting

Fund accounting (Cont'd.)
Covernmental Fund TVge~
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the
School District are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of tho School
District's eKpendable financ ial resources and the relaced liabilities (eKcept
those accounted for in proprietary funds) are accounted for through governmental
f.unds. The meesurement focus is upon determInation of changes in financlal
resources, rather than upon net income determination. The funds included in this
category are:
General Fund. The General Fund is used to account for all financial
transactions not accounted for in anocher fund. Revenues are
primarily derived from local property. per capita and occupation
taxes, and State and Federal distributions. Many of the ;nore
important activities of the School District, including instruction,
administration of the School District and certain noninstructional
services are accounted for in this fund.
Special Revenue Fund . Special Revenue Fund. are ueed to account for
the proceeds of specific revenues that are restricted to eKpenditures
for specified purposes.
Capital Projects Fund . Capital Projects Funds are used to account
for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction
of capital facilities.
Debt Service Fund . Debt Service Funds are used to account for the
accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long.term
debt, principal. interest and related costs.
ProDrietnrv Fund Tvnes
Proprietary Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises:
Food Service Fund . The Food Service
financial transactions associated
cafeterias.

with the operations of the
Fiduciarv Fund Tvoes
Fiduciary Funds (Trust and Agency Funds) are used to account for assets held by
a governmental unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for other funds or
entities. Nonexpendable Trusts are accounted for in essentially the same manner
as Proprietary Funds. Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not involve
measurement of the results of operations:

Trust Accounts ' Accounts for contributions to and interest earnings
on scholarship funds donated to the District, and for payments of
scholarship funds to selected students.
Activity Fund ' Accounts for programs operated and sponsored by
various clubs and organizations within the schools. Activity funds
are Agency Funds which are separately accounted for because of legal
requirements.

financial position and are not involved with the measurement of results of

General Long.Term Debt accounts for bonds, capital leases and
compensated absences payable in future years.
Basis of accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied by the different funds
is based on their measurement focus, which determines when revenues and
expenditures are recognized.
Governmental Fund Tvoes
These funds are accounted for using a "current finanelal resources"
measurement focus (a modified accrual basis of accounting).
Revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual (both measurable and
available). Available means collected within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability
is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include principal and
interest on general long. term debt which is recognized when due.
Disbursements for inventory type items and prepaid expenses are
considered expenditures at the ti.me of purchase.

Basis of accounting (Cont'd.)
Fiduciary Fund Tvoes
Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and
do not involve measurement of results of operations. Agency Funds
are also accounted for using thl! modified accrual basis of accounting.
Proorletarv Fund Tvnes
The Food Service Fund uses the Pennsylvania Department of Education
prescribed "modified enterprise fund" method of accounting, except
that equipment used in the operations of the Food Service Fund are
included as part of the General Fixed Assets Group of Accounts.
The School District does not attempt to allocate "building-wide costs"
to the Food Service Fund. Thus, General Fund expenditures which
partially benefit the Food Service Fund (utilities, janitorial
services, insurance, etc.) are not proportionately recognized within
the Food Service Fund; similarly, the Food Service Fund does not
recognize a cost for the building space it occupies (no rental of
facilities expense).
Account CrouDs
Buildings. furnishings and equipment are recorded at cost, or at
estimated historical cost for those items for which the original cost
is unknown. Depreciation is not computed on these assets.
Long. term debt is offset by an amount to be provided by future
taxation or other revenue sources. General obligation bonds payable
in future years are recorded as District debt. Interest on these
bonds is recorded when such interest is due.
Compensated absences (those for which employees receive pay) are
recorded using the termination payment method. A liability is
recorded through the use of estimates which apply historical data to
current factors. The District maintains records of unused leave and
applies the contracted rate for employees eligible for termination
payments. The District allows only restricted sabbatical leave and
therefore has no recorded liability in advance of the sabbatical.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the Food Service Fund statement of cash flows, the District
considers all deposits purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash or cash equivalents.

Budge ts
The District adopts, prior to tho beginnLng of each fiscal year, an annual budget
for the General Fund and Athletic Fund. A part of chLs budget process is the
adoption of local tax rates, subject to various legal restrictions, The District
approves subsequent budget revisions (prLmarily transfers between expenditure
categories) as necessary. Unused appropriations expiro at the end of each year.
Because the District did not adopt a budget for all Special Revenue Funds, the
actual-to,budget comparLson for Spedal Revenue Funds contains information for the
Athletic Fund only.
Revenue - Local sources
Real estate, per capita, residence and occupation taxes are levied as of July 1
with a legal, enforceable claim against the taxpayer and/or property. These taxes
are recognizable as current revenue when received by the DistrLct during the
fiscal year and also estimated to be received by the District within sixty days
after the close of the fiscal year.
An allowance for estimated uncollectible taxes is recorded based upon a historical
estimate of delinquent taxes that will not be received within one year. Deferred
tax revenues are based upon a historical estimate of delinquent taxes expected to
be received within one year of the fiscal year end.
The portion of taxes receivable which is expected to be received within 60 days
of June 30 is recorded as revenue in the current year. The remaining amount of
taxes receivable which is expected to be received within one year from June 30
is recorded as deferred revenue. All other amounts in the taxes receivable are
written off as estimated uncollectible taxes.
Other tax revenues, including taxpayer.assessed revenues such as earned income
taxes, are recognized as revenue when received during the fiscal year or soon
enough thereafter to be susceptible to accrual.
Revenue . State source~
State subsidies due the District as current fiscal year entitlements are
recognized as revenue in the current fiscal year. Subsidies or grants received
in advance of the related expenditures are deferred until such expenditures are
incurred.
Revenue . Federal sources
Federal program funds app Ucab le to expendi tures for the bame program in the
current fiscal year but expected to be received in the next fiscal year are
accrued as current revenue.
